Church Marketing Sucks

It’s the end of the year and time for lists galore. So we present the top 10 most commented entries of 2006.

Of course we’re ignoring the old Peer Review entries before we launched the Church Marketing Lab. We’re also only looking at entries composed in 2006, even though some of our older entries remain popular and still rack up the comments. It’s also worth pointing out that landing on this list has nothing to do with the quality of the entry or the topic, it has more to do with the comment fury the entry prompted, for whatever reason. And of course all comment numbers were current at press time.

So with no further disclaimers, let’s get this list started…

1) The Church & Money: Plasma TV or Feed the Poor? – 39 comments

2) When Church Signs Suck – 37 comments

3) Church Advertising is a Waste of Time – 33 comments

4) Jesus Beer Billboard Prank – 32 comments

5) Would Jesus Discriminate? – 26 comments

6) Mark Batterson and Church Buzz – 25 comments

7) Stock Photography Sucks – 25 comments

8) The Statue of Liberation Through Christ – 24 comments

9) My Lame Sex Life Follow Up – 22 comments

10) Church Outreach & MySpace – 22 comments

It’s interesting that four of the 10 entries were written by guest bloggers. They know how to stir things up (and you can too).
